Hot Blood Cooling on.

ST. LOUIS, May IA special from
the City of Mexico says: Two chal-
lenges have passed as result of the
trouble about Miss Bazaine, the French
ex-marshal's beautiful daughter. In
both cases the seconds have sdjusted
the difference without a hostile meet
ing. Members of the Casino club,
however, have adopted resolution ex-
polling the Spanish minister, Senior
Vercero Armisto, from the club.
There is an element of the
Spanish colony outside of
the Casino who sustain the
minister. They say the young Eng
lishman Barron, when told that his
dancing the Boston with Miss Bazaine
was cancaning, considered the lady in
suited and pitched into the officer of
the club. He was threatened with eX-
pulsion from the ball under escort of a
policeman. He appealed to the Span

The Pacifc railroad investigation.

NEW YORK, May 6.-The United
States Pacific Railways commission
held long executive session this
morning. Assistant Treasurer and
Secretary James NJ. Ham, of the Union
Pacific, was sworn. He said that he
be came connected with the Kansas
Pacific in 1878. Securities in the pool
agreement were deposited with Jay
Gould and Russell Sage as trustees, and
are in their hands now. When Judge
DOnohue's decree releasing Denver
Pacific stock from Kansas Pacific
mortgage securities to the Kansas Pa
cific was issued, Mr.. Ham received the
stock as treasurer. No resolution was
passed by the directors authorizing the
transfer of stock to Jay Gould, Sidney
Dillon or any one else, but it was
transferred to them in exchange. Mr..
Gould got considerable quantity,
which was determined by his interest
in securities which he exchanged for
stock. Messrs. Gould, Clark and Per-
kins, each got some of the stock;
thought Mr.. Gould got more than
either of. the other. From 5000 to
5000 shares of stock were delivered
into the treasury of the Union Pacific.
Mr.. Gould acquired an interest in this
stock by the sale to the Kansas Pacific
bonds Iof the st. Joseph and Kansas
and other branch roads, for which he
received these securities.

Judge Reid, causing the latter to sui

Lawyers say that Stofer has places
